Update: the terms of the board have been updated with the follow changes:
- Allow for filling vacancies by appointment or by-election at the discretion of the Managing Director and the Guardians, in consultation with a Governance Committee. (2.7.1)
- Allow for the Governing Board to adopt voting mechanisms other than simple majority on a case-by-case basis. (5.5)
- Disallow nominees from running for election in more than one constituency at a time. (2.4.1)
- Change UTC to AOE in timeline. (2.3)
Welcome to the first ever Governing Board election season for the Matrix.org Foundation! We start with a one week nomination period that opens on Saturday, April 20th and closes on Friday, April 26th AOE time.
We’ll be doing our best to reach out to every constituent group to let them know they are eligible to nominate candidates for the election. That said, this is our first election and we don’t yet have contact information for everybody who is eligible, so we want your help getting the word out.
If you are interested in nominating someone – or yourself – to be a candidate in this election, read this post in its entirety.
